INTRODUCTION. 

The  library  is  a most  important  factor  in  teaching  vocational 
agriculture.  It  is  of  greater  importance  in  schools  where  the  home 
project  is  made  the  basis  of  the  work  in  agriculture.  The  library 
should  be  made  available  to  the  students  in  agriculture.  In  schools 
where  the  main  school  library  is  not  accessible  at  all  times,  it  will  be 
found  advantageous  to  keep  the  agricultural  books  in  the  agricultural 
room . They  may  be  used  here  during  the  period  designated  for  super- 
vised study. 

Good  books  are  very  desirable  and  effective  tools  in  the  hand  of  the 
discriminating  teacher  who  attempts  to  direct  the  thought  and  activities 
of  the  community  of  which  he  is  a part.  No  one  has  a better  opportunity 
to  help  direct  the  reading  habits  and  practices  of  the  community  than  the 
teacher  of  vocational  agriculture.  The  high  school  may  render  a 
distinct  service  to  its  constituency  by  providing  a library  on  agricultural 
interests  and  arranging  for  its  use  under  the  direction  of  the  teacher. 

This  bulletin  is  intended  to  suggest  a bibliography  of  books  worthy 
of  a place  in  the  high  school  library.  It  is  neither  possible  nor  advisable 
to  include  all  books  published  on  the  various  topics.  Book  catalogs 
furnish  such  lists.  This  list  has  been  prepared  in  cooperation  with  the 
various  departments  of  the  College  of  Agriculture,  University  of  Illinois. 
Credit  is  due  the  members  of  these  departments  who  carefully  criticized 
the  lists  and  offered  many  suggestions. 

The  books  are  listed  according  to  divisions  which  have  been  given 
literal  designations.  Each  book  bears  a number  as  well  as  the  letter 
which  names  the  division;  thus  A-3.  A list  of  publishing  houses  will 
be  found  in  the  back  of  the  bulletin.  Blank  spaces  are  left  in  each 
division  where  the  names  of  new  books  may  be  listed.  The  bibliography 
should  be  kept  up  to  date.  Lists  of  new  books  may  be  obtained  from 
time  to  time  from  the  Department  of  Agricultural  Education, 
University  of  Illinois. 


NOTE  TO  TEACHERS. 


This  bulletin  will  be  adopted  for  use  in  all  departments  of  voca- 
tional agriculture  in  the  State,  and  the  letter  and  numeral  key  assigned 
to  each  book  will  be  used  by  all  pupils  in  reporting  reference  readings 
to  the  teachers,  and  by  all  vocational  teachers  in  their  reports  to  the 
State  Supervisor.  For  example  “Del.”  will  be  the  key  to  use  in 
referring  to  “Soil  Fertility  and  Permanent  Agriculture,”  by  Cyril  G. 
Hopkins.  This  bulletin  is  a very  complete  and  thorough  bibliography, 
and  by  adopting  a uniform  system  of  naming  and  reporting  these  books, 
less  confusion  and  better  results  in  general  will  obtain.  I suggest  that 
these  books  on  your  library  shelves  be  numbered  with  the  letters  and 
numerals  here  adopted. 

Aretas  W.  Nolan, 
Supervisor  of  Agricultural  Education.

N.— MISCELLANEOUS, 
a. — Laboratory  Manuals. 

The  use  of  the  laboratory  manual  is  somewhat  limited  in  the  teach- 
ing of  agriculture  by  the  project  method,  unless  the  manual  is  confined 
to  particular  subjects  or  divisions  of  agriculture.  There  are  a few  such 
manuals  on  the  market  that  vocational  teachers  should  have  in  the 
library  if  not  in  the  hands  of  their  pupils.  There  are  also  a number  of 
manuals  on  the  market  covering  the  general  field  of  agriculture.  These 
manuals  suggest  exercises  which  may  be  carried  on  in  the  laboratory. 
Many  of  them  take  up  a wide  field  of  subjects  from  the  classifying  of 
insects  to  the  feeding  of  animals.  The  manuals  here  listed  will  be 
found  helpful  as  guides  for  laboratory  exercises.

BULLETINS  AND  CIRCULARS. 

The  College  of  Agriculture  and  Illinois  Experiment  Station  issue 
technical  bulletins  giving  experimental  data  which  has  been  obtained 
from  Illinois  experiments.  These  bulletins  are  free  to  anyone  within 
the  state  and  may  be  obtained  by  addressing  the  Experiment  Station.  It 
is  not  a good  plan  for  teachers  to  send  for  large  numbers.  Pupils  should 
be  encouraged  to  send  for  the  bulletins  which  bear  directly  upon  their 
particular  problems.  Circulars  are  also  issued.  The  circulars  are  more 
popularly  written  than  the  technical  bulletins. 

Lists  of  available  bulletins  may  be  obtained  from  other  experiment 
stations.  Lists  of  bulletins  published  by  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  may  be  obtained  by  addressing  that 
department.  There  is  not  space  in  this  bibliography  to  list  the  bulletins 
which  are  thought  to  be  most  helpful  to  the  teacher.  Lists  of  bulletins 
on  any  one  particular  subject  may  be  obtained  from  the  U.  S.  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture.  The  high  school  library  should  contain  a large 
number  of  well  selected  bulletins  to  be  used  as  special  references. 

SPECIAL  PAMPHLETS  AND  CIRCULARS. 

There  are  numerous  valuable  pamphlets  and  circulars  issued  by 
various  industrial  companies.  Certain  companies,  such  as  the  Inter- 
national Harvester  Company,  have  spent  large  sums  of  money  in 
establishing  an  educational  department.  Most  of  the  material  pub- 
lished by  these  companies  may  be  obtained  free  of  charge.

PICTURES  AND  SPECIAL  PAMPHLETS. 

Excellent  pictures  may  be  obtained  from  many  of  the  breed  asso- 
ciations. Publications  are  issued  by  many  of  these  associations  giving 
reports  and  interesting  discussions  concerning  their  particular  breeds. 
Teachers  should  write  to  the  breed  associations  for  special  information 
which  is  needed  by  boys  in  their  project  work.  The  addresses  of  the 
various  breed  associations  may  be  obtained  from  the  Department  of 
Agricultural  Education,  Urbana.  The  list  is  not  published  in  this 
bulletin  because  the  addresses  change  frequently.
